Have I missed a change somewhere along the line? My MP3s are correctly
tagged - the artist field contains the name of the artist. The album
artist field contains 'Various Artists' for compilations and the name
of the recording artist for the rest.

The problem I have now is that for compilation albums Slimserver is
displaying <Artist>-<Track> by Various Artists from <Album>. I
preferred the 6.3 version that displayed <track name> by <Artist> From
<album>. The format I'm now seeing is irritating, in fact I think it's
nonsense, but I can probably put up with it. What's giving me
difficulties is that Slimscrobbler is now logging my tracks from
compilation albums using Various Artists' as the artist name
(presumably because that's what SS is now passing it). So I'm seeing
'messed up data' when there is nothing wrong with my tags.

Is the only solution to go back to 6.3?

EDIT: I looked in the Help but couldn't find anything that discusses
this behaviour. I'm quite happy to read the relevant documentation if
someone can point it out to me.

Thanks.

Kevin
